A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I went to my grandmother's house to pick up her cat to take him to the vet. She forgot who I was and sprayed me in the face with pepper spray. FML

Today, I was together with a few of my friends when I got up the courage to confess I have an eating disorder. One of my friends then said "... but you're not skinny." FML

Today, I got a call from a girl I dated long ago, who cheated on me and got pregnant by another guy, or so we thought. Turns out it isn't his, and she is taking me to court for child support. FML
Today, my mother told my boyfriend a cute story about me when I was little. The one where my cousin and I were caught pooping in a urinal in the church basement. FML
Today, I was insulted and harassed by my sister and her boyfriend, all because I proposed yesterday. They were angry I might get married before they did. They have known each other since primary school; I met my fiancée earlier this year. FML

He didn't break up with her, he cheated on her, which is much worse. I'm sorry OP, cheating is always the cheater's fault, and your granny should have been a little more sensitive to your feelings.

Even if she gained weight and stayed there, that's no excuse for cheating. It could warrant a talk or, if they couldn't agree, a breakup, but it doesn't justify cheating.

You gotta remember your grandma comes from a different time from you, her youth probably saw more value in beauty and criticism rather then also taking into account personality education and acceptance.

Gasp! Awwwww, that wasn't nice. I'm Sorry OP. Your Grandma should be telling you to ditch that creep, and wait on a guy that's faithful, and loves you just the way you are!
